What you really need to know!
In a percent equation, the percent is written as a decimal.
What you really need to know!
% of BASE = PART
The word “ of ” means multiply!
What you really need to know!
The number after the word “of” is the base!
The number near the word “is” is the part!
Example 1:
Find 38% of 22.% x BASE = PART38% x 22 = PART0.38 x 22 = PART8.36 = PART
Example 2:
19 is what percent of 25?
% x BASE = PART% x 25 = 19% = 19 ÷ 25% = 0.76 76%
Example 3:
84 is 16% of what number?
% x BASE = PART16% x BASE = 840.16 x BASE = 84BASE = 84 ÷ 0.16BASE = 525
Example 4:
The regular price of a ring is $495. It is on sale at a 20% discount. What is the sale price of the ring?
20% x $495 = $99
$495 - $99 = $396
Example 5:
Suppose you invest $2,000 at an annual interest rate of 4.5%. How long will it take to earn $495?
I = prt
I = prtI is interest
p is principal
r is annual interest rate
t is time in years
Example 5:
Suppose you invest $2,000 at an annual interest rate of 4.5%. How long will it take to earn $495?
495 = 2,000 • 0.045 • t
5.5 years = t
